Michael Shannon Talks About Fahrenheit 451

[@mnchls]

I'm so glad Michael Shannon seems to be everywhere nowadays. It's still nowhere near enough of him. The man is just such a treasure.

[@oneopinion6806]

I hadn't noticed him all that much until I saw him just go ham in Premium Rush. Dude gives his all as bug-eyed angry characters. I get he can be nuanced, but I love him just shouting it out!

[@michaelshannon6134]

The more famous he gets the more people act excited when they hear my name, I love it

[@Enzombie]

I'm happy that Michael Shannon is becoming more well known, I still think he's one the best actors of our time.

[@CassiusKent]

He's such a chill dude, as opposed to the roles I'm use to seeing him in.

[@MM-hc1cq]

My favorite actor - incredibly underrated.

[@nullunit]

He may not get lots of recognition but what he does get...jobs. That man is always working and I am thankful for it, he makes most anything he is in better.

[@totalbliss1]

Watching this actor act in films is truly remarkable. One of the best.

[@nullunit]

I love Michael Shannon. In contrast to the rather extreme characters, he tends to gravitate towards he is the funniest dude in most interviews.

[@JaQuicker]

Wow he's much more chill than all of his characters

[@feebeedoc78]

Looking forward to this film - Ray Bradbury, Michael Shannon and Michael B Jordan? I'm in.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Dry wit. Brilliant actor. So great in Take Shelter and Boardwalk Empire to name a few.

[@rgwak]

Shannon seems like a cool cat. Dude's an amazing actor. Fahrenheit 451 is gonna be fire!

[@showmethedickens]

Ro G I see what you did there

[@machirim2805]

Unfortunately the movie has been so twisted from the book that it's a disaster.

[@Cassandra6]

Michael Shannon is endlessly entertaining

[@Winteramen]

Watching this at a restaurant, about to sip water and he says "i know ants are strong..." almost spat the water all over the place

[@dbone3356]

Everyone who hasn't yet, needs to see Boardwalk Empire. It is a great show and he is tremendous in it. If you've already seen it, watch it again.

[@Poochie1]

Awesome guy, can't believe the bad guy from Shape Of Water is so funny.

[@ericaugust1501]

i knew him mostly from boardwalk empire. he is the exact opposite of funny in that series. so big surprise

[@mayacskn]

Looks like you only watched Shape of Water

[@A.Fort.]

I'm cautiously optimistic about this Fahrenheit 451 adaptation. I love the book and have been hoping for a good modern interpretation for years. I think the democratization of information via the internet wasn't something Bradbury could have predicted at the time the book was written but other elements of the message about controlling the flow of information to influence the public continue to resonante. I'm interested to see what they do with it.

[@vanessasimon1345]

Seth please have Michael Shannon on your show more!

[@theguitardude5613]

His portrayal of Zod is up there with Heath Ledgers Joker.

[@FrankAtanassow]

Sometimes humor is a thin veneer over genuine irritation.

[@JPMJPM]

Frank Atanassow Seinfeld once said the best comedians are the ones who always have a complaint.

[@FinalDraftEFN]

Am I the only one who sees Ron Burgandy next to Seth?

[@nicksushkevich]

My first thought from thumbnail))

[@launabanauna8958]

Final Draft First thing that came to mind.

[@yassop5421]

I saw shape of water. And this guy looks like the grasshopper villain from bugs life.

[@Deviant69]

😂😂💀

[@dejayrezme8617]

Wow he is a pretty cool guy off camera. I've only seen him play villains on Boardwalk and Shape of Water. Fahrenheit 451 is another scary dystopian story. It's not as sci-fi today as it was when I read it. We are drifting towards a future similar to this. Some people who watch trashy reality TV won't even understand some of the scenes in the story.

[@C345OFR]

Let's face it, people who watch trashy reality TV are not going to be _watching_ - never mind understanding - this.

[@dejayrezme8617]

To be honest I don't even understand it. I mean social media and youtube trash probably largely superseded reality TV. Maybe I'm getting old lol but so much is changing we have no time to even really reflect on the radical changes.

[@zookittie]

I just can’t get Nelson van Alden & Zod out of my head when I see this guy ... no matter how hard I try !!

[@davidramos9516]

Great Bradbury novel. Oskar Werner. Great actor. Hope the remake is just as good.

[@markphc99]

i always meant to read the book, hope the film does it justice

[@JPMJPM]

Mark Callaghan The book is sooo good. Could be read in a four-hour sitting or less. A real page-turner!

[@JPMJPM]

Dakota Skye I think the book is very close to what we’ve got going on today. I’ll be interested to see how he nuances it!

[@A.Fort.]

The book is very good. Reading it in the present is a bit odd because some bits are kind of anachronistic, while some of the elements that were straight sci-fi when it was written are commonplace everyday things now (It totally called big screens and AirPods, for example, while failing to predict the Swiffer). The main themes of controlling a populace via controlling the information and media they consume while an endless war goes on almost unremarked in the background is certainly relevent today although its focus on physical ink-and-paper books does come across as a bit quaint in the modern age. It's one of my favorites and well worth a read and I, too, hope this film does it justice.

[@ryanpotter9152]

its 2am and im binge watching Michael shannon, hes a funny genius

[@doug12345doug]

The play bit was a great story.

[@delphinesaez6453]

he is hilarious!!! so funny and humble and clever!!!!!!!!!!

[@drphot6050]

Shannon Stache rules!

[@murphyleigh6319]

Kneel before Zod, who, it turns out, is extremely Canadian.

[@handsomejonni]

I think he's from Kentucky.

[@seamusin1697]

He was born in Kentucky and grew up both there and in Illinois.

[@seamusin1697]

Marcus Middleton He is not Canadian.

[@brodel77]

Shannon was great as Captain Beatty.

[@RWSCOTT]

this is gonna be good

[@lee1978good]

Lol love this guy.

[@marshallboice4629]

Wow Mike looks so different with that mustache! In a good way!

[@NewMessage]

Looks like an excerpt from Zod's brief porn comics career.

[@GothicalDarkAngel]

To collect wives. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Classic!

[@SheIsBlessed]

Yeah he got married back in January of this year. Congrats Mike

[@PaulMarriott]

Give him a pair of glasses and you've got Dr. Nambu from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman!

[@Timbrock1000]

They couldn't show a clip of the movie?!

[@nefwaenre]

Oh my! Maroon suits him so much!! He's just so hot and insanely talented to boot! 😘😘 And did he get a tan? And Mike, why talk abt your wife? 😭😭

[@ashtonturner2862]

He's hilarious.

[@allisoncarter1931]

does anybody know what play it was that shannon was talking about that the guy threw up at? it actually sounds interesting

[@angelogrosso7904]

That stache makes me think of only thing: Mustache Ride!!!

[@xograph68]

AMAZINGLY COOL T SHIRT......!!!!!!!!

[@pulseweld]

ant mouth arms are called "Mandibles"

[@jpbenedetto1822]

Pixel_Geist - "Mouth arms" omfg, I'm dying! Hilarious. 🤣😂🐜🐜🐜

[@pulseweld]

IDK how to describe them lame- o I know

[@jpbenedetto1822]

Pixel_Geist - I thought it was adorable and terribly accurate!! ♡

[@vanessa0111]

he actually looks good with a mustache..

[@Adontheimperfectionist]

I feel like this guy should be waaay more famous then he is

[@Pontius888]

This is the weirdest Ron Burgandy interview I have ever seen!!!!

[@emilyjanebenjamin5684]

Is he trying to win a Mark Twain lookalike contest?

[@luison9708]

The ice man

[@janaynayification1]

he’s funny

[@cytherians]

Is Michael Shannon Norm MacDonald's long lost brother? ;-)

[@willrogers4596]

He looks like Ron Burgundy

[@willjsoden]

How is he somehow Ned Flanders

[@MasterJediDude]

This movie was a terrible adaptation of the book. I dare say that the 1966 movie hit a bit closer to the target. Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon did the best they could with a terrible script. Couldn't the producers just adapt the book into a movie without throwing in all of the tech trends and tacked-on ending? It barely resembled the book -- it's like HBO read the book jacket and made their own movie from it. Michael Shannon's character was terribly written -- was he good, bad, conflicted? His performance was all over the place.

[@SeemoreDunkan]

Michael Shannon should play Axle Rose in his later years.. put on some pounds and hold a burger

[@billdawson249]

It was made 1963

[@TripXization]

Ron Burgundy? Is that you?

[@JPMJPM]

I really hope this movie does the book justice. The original movie sucked.

[@TheMrSlyxx]

He is one of my favorites. If you want to watch him do something hysterical check out this short clip where he reads an angry sorority letter in character. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp_KgHtvfJmIhtk

[@manugulati1105]

Zod!!

[@arbiter5999]

I fuckin hated the book

[@kissochbajslowski]

Doesn't he sound canadian here?

[@manugulati1105]

😂😂😂

[@laineym1825]

The movie was horrible it's like they didn't even read the book

[@totalbliss1]

Watching this actor act in films is truly remarkable. One of the best.
